After six years with St Kilda (spanning the time when they entered the VFL), Phillips took a role with the Perth Mint in late 1898 and moved to Western Australia where he was captain of the Perth Football Club for a few years.[2][3][4] He later took up lawn bowls and became a state champion of both Victoria[5] and Western Australia.[6]
